Country or not, I *LIKE* Lee Sherwood. Lee has a great set of pipes, he is very knowledgeable about current events but most of all, he has a WARM personality that comes across on the air. Lee puts on a good morning show. Better, in my humble opinion, than a lot of modern radio people. Before KHJ, he had a long radio career that took him all over the country. You can read about his career in this article by the Telos Alliance.

If you enjoy this aircheck, you might also enjoy this aircheck composite of 1050 WHN New York. Was I a betting man, not knowing much about the thinking behind Country KHJ, I’d have said this version of AM 930 was patterned right after WHN. Someone out there knows.

Neil Rockoff, the GM responsible for the country format, was from WHN. Problem was KLAC was dominant and 93.9 FM had started its country format around the same time. The ad campaign was contrived “We all grew up to be cowboys” as was the format. Even Willie was uptight. //youtu.be/GEERXj2bhm8
